ABSTRACT:
A method as disclosed of assisting in the determination of the existence of conical folding of the geological formation utilizing an existing dipmeter survey obtained through a wellbore penetrating the geological formation. Estimates of plunge and aperture of the geological formation, as well as the position of the wellbore with respect to the geologic formation are made. These estimates are utilized to generate a synthetic dip plot representative of conical folding. The synthetic dip plot is compared to the existing dipmeter survey, and one or more of the estimates are varied to obtain a final synthetic dip plot that has the highest correlation of the dipmeter survey, thereby providing an assistance in the determination of existence of conical folding of the geological formation.
